Got the vacuum today, put it together and started to vacuum the house. It has a very long cord so you can vacuum for very long distances before having to move the plug. The vacuum is very powerful, a bit heavy and very tall, great for the taller people in the family. It has a very powerful suction, it is compact enough to fit in very small spaces and does wonders for all the dog hair we have. The dust cup is easy to remove and clean and the odor  neutralizing technology far exceeds any other pet vacuum I have ever used.
